Why is SU being deleted? I've used that website since before ebay acquired it and I still find it a unique and useful service. No real issue if it does get deleted, I can add it back, just wondering why it's being marked for deletion.

Ok, we'll keep it then :).

As it's not been in the zeitgeist I did look quickly and saw an article saying that engagement within stumbleupon had dropped away, but I looked again now and say as of 3 years ago it's not doing too bad:

On a quick review VK wanted me to include some JS code for a share button. If that's what has to happen, it's not happening - as realistically this is going to be adding a Kremlin bug onto people's sites. But if we can do it with a simple link that's fine.

https://vk.com/share.php?url={URL} should be good and profile links would be https://vk.com/{USERNAME}

Thanks, I did need that.
